James Cridland's reading reviewed The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson
Review of 'The Rum Diary ' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I do wonder, with books like these, how the main subject ever gets anything done, given that he appears blind drunk all the time. Sometimes light and funny, sometimes rather more dark, I gather this is early Hunter S Thompson, and therefore before he discovers acid. It was OK; the plot line mostly as-to-be-expected from the first few chapters, and the characters varied and interesting. Not sure I'd put it in a list of favourites, though.
